Consider Vinyl Siding Instead of Wood | Allstate Gutter & Siding
Vinyl Comes in Many Styles
A typical vinyl siding panel is four feet long, although pieces can be custom-cut and textured to meet your personal style desires for your home. You can easily mimic your home's current charm without keeping the wooden clapboards by replacing the wood with vinyl panels in horizontal lines.
Or you can give your home a classic, unique appeal by opting for vinyl panels that resemble wood shakes or scallops. Vinyl is a very versatile material that can even have wood grains etched into the pieces to give your home a realistic wooden exterior that isn't made of wood at all.
Vinyl Is Easy to Care For
With vinyl siding, you don't have to paint over your home's exterior ever again. In fact, vinyl cannot be painted over, which can sound daunting at first, but keep in mind that the material comes in a large array of attractive hues. Colors to consider for your vinyl siding upgrade include:
- Slate gray
- Classic white
- Soft yellow
- Light brown
- Hunter green
If you don't see a color selection you want from your contractor, ask about custom hues. Many vinyl siding companies create custom orders for their customers for an added fee.
In addition to never needing paint, vinyl siding is also easy to clean and resistant to high winds and temperature changes, and won't warp or mold due to moisture as wooden siding does.
Vinyl Is Easy to Apply
Did you know that vinyl siding can be placed over your existing wood siding? If your wood siding is in good repair and free of mold, warping, missing panels, or other major damage, you can simply place vinyl panels right on top of your existing home's exterior.
To find out if your home's siding can simply be covered over with vinyl, talk to your contractor and set an appointment for an estimate on siding upgrades.
Vinyl Is Long Lasting
Vinyl siding has a long lifespan, mainly due to the material's overall durability. The largest issue you will find with vinyl siding is that, periodically, you will need to replace lower panels when they are accidentally struck by a lawn mower or damaged by children or pets.
A vinyl siding project should always be performed by a professional installation specialist. Ask to see previous work of the contractor you hire, both for inspiration purposes and to see the quality of your contractor's work.
Vinyl siding is not plain, nor does the siding limit you in your home's exterior design. There are many reasons to consider vinyl siding over your classic wooden siding, even if you love painting your home every few years to stay with current trends in curb appeal.
Once your vinyl siding project is complete, you can enjoy your home's new curb appeal right away. Vinyl siding is quickly growing to be the siding of choice for many Americans, and this versatile material will quickly become a favorite of yours as well.
